the star rigel was formed just like anything else in this universe. Rigel was formed from a male star and a female star engaging in sexual activity. it a great price to pay when a female star gives birth because during the process the female star explodes into a super nova and dies off to make room for rigel. it is also a great sacrifice for male stars to have children because they can only ejoy sexual intamecy once in its life. after that the stars male parts fall of and insinigrate in the heavy denseness of space. hope this helps
I'm not sure exactly what detail you want, but here's a start. Rigel is a triple star system. The main star of the three is a very luminous star. It is a blue supergiant star.
Rigel is imagined to be one of the feet of Orion, the Hunter. That's the origin of its name "Rigel" . . . from the Sumerian/Hebrew/Arabic "regel" meaning 'foot'.
The name Rigel derives from the Arabic Rijl meaning left foot. Since Rigel represents Orion's left foot, the name seemed kind of obvious.
Rigel appears bluish-white in color, while Betelgeuse appears reddish-orange to the human eye.
The star Rigel was named by the Arabic astronomers. Rigel is derived from the Arabic word "rijl" which means "foot," as it represents the foot of the Orion constellation.
Rigel is pronounced as "RYE-jell".
